Vegetable Garden

Who's got one ? what are you growing ? and how's it coming along? Mine consists of sweet corn , cabbage , brussel sprouts, cauliflower, broccoli ,cucumbers, zucchini, peas, tomatoes , peppers , acorn squash, pumpkins, and assorted spices. The cold wet weather hasn't been very conducive to good growth so far for me. But with warmer weather in the forecast things should turn out. I hope those of you growing fair better.

I've had a great germination rate on carrots this spring for some reason so we've been adding them to salads as I thin the crop and the wife is going to try making some pesto out of them. 
Got the kiddo into eating radishes this year. He has been harvesting and eating daily, proud dad moment 😂

Melons,cucumbers,and zucchini.

1st berries of 2024. There were 4 of 'em ​. Slugs are out in force with all this rain. Cool weather coming the next few nights so watch it...

Polski is that a outdoor hydroponics setup you got there?  

I got my new metal raised garden installed yesterday.  Put some dirt in it but still need more before its full. Also got 6 tomato plants and 4 pepper plants in the ground before the rain came last night. With lows in the 40's the next two nights i won't plant anymore probably until the weekend. Still lots of planting before I'm finished!

Waiting on some hot weather! Cool season crops are loving it. Went back and reseeded a few areas that didn't have great germination but otherwise we are 100% planted and onto second plantings. Still holding steady against the weeds so far.

Polski put a toy sailboat in there

Today was flower planting around the yard. Gotta have pollinators for berries and veggies...

Installation has begun

Bulbing process looks like it is just a few days away. 

Just shy of 3" of rain last night. My raised beds look like little wood boats. At least I won't have to water for a week or two. 

Cherokee Purple & Pink Brandywine doing fine

B@R I'm planting my cucumber seeds tomorrow, I have them soaking in water tonight.  I'm going with the yellow cups we talked about.  I'm going to use Clove oil as the attractant after watching some videos on a setup. I'll put them out when they sprout. Hopefully it works for me.

Got lots planted and these cool rainy days are not helping,  bring on some sun and heat.

Pool and others with cucumber, beetle issues. I am going to have to plant my plants before June which I do not like to do but due to medical restraints and things coming up I will have to get them in. So too detour the first wave of the southern eastern whatever they are Beatles that will be coming in in June. I am going to use neem oil. this is very dangerous so be careful when you use it. Make sure you only apply at night and you gotta watch for burning. Cucumber a few times and then lay back and watch. I will update with pheromones and yellow solo cups if I do traps some.
